One could argue that the existence of the UAW is incentive enough for non Union plants to keep their workers happy enough to not unionize. Non-union workers are indirectly benefiting from the UAW. 

Let me refer you to my original comment.

I’m sorry your friends with a Masters in Scandinavian Basket Weaving aren’t making more than Mike or Susan working their shift.  Your comment is the worst I have ever seen on this site, and THAT is saying something.

I thought so. I gave the original comment the respect it deserved.

This kind of thinking is what makes me hate the products of higher education. People will go to college, probably go for a degree that has no real world value, make very little, and then bitch about the guys who went out there and did something that has tangible results and they can take pride in. Like seriously, when…

While I don’t fully agree with drh3b, I don’t agree fully with you either. I know some people with master’s degrees that are worth about as much as my 2 ply bulk toilet paper from Costco. I mean that’s fantastic that you got a Master’s Degree in Psychopathology of the West African Endangered Field Mouse, I would like…

I’ve worked both sides of the isle. And honestly, manufacturing and skilled labor jobs make as much as they are owed. The only risk I’m taking sitting at a desk doing data entry is maybe getting carpal tunnel.

To counter that:

That says more about how shit someone’s masters degree is than how evil a union is.

Fuck you.

In Texas the front plate is a radar target. It also works well for laser speed guns. It’s a fund raiser.

I worked at an Audi dealership when these cars were new. I also have an inexplicable fondness for Audi in general. That said, the Audi 5000/100/200 cars were a special kind of unreliable. No matter how nice a condition it is in; you are buying a money pit of problems. CP even if it was available for free.

Ok-I’m gonna be the only voice of defense. I worked many years in the auto machine shop trade. And from our end, we could tell a lot about the outside world. About 2 years into a new design of engine, the issues start showing up. And then the next 5 or 6 they become the norm of things to do. 4.0 v-6 Ford head gasket…

I would much prefer to live next to a man like David Tracy, that would stop to help you out if you pulled into your spot with a flat tire, than some self important busybody asshole that would call the HOA for working on your car in your parking spot.

I’d much rather be neighbors with David Tracy than live in a place with an HOA.

Is David Tracy’s neighborhoodhood up for grabs?

Rather David Tracy than some self-absorbed douche who wants to rule everyone else’s property.

Big 3: If you don’t drive a pickup, you are arab glag burning fag. Oh, you mean you can’t afford 75,000 for a truck? Then you are a loser fag.

Apparently, this marketing is EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL in america.

What gets me is articles like these, or similar press releases that sit here and openly flaunt how much fucking profit they’re pulling from these things. What other business would be so brazen as to shove in their customers’ faces how much profit they’re raking in? I know of none. The Big 3 are fucking you in every…
